Maybe I haven't crack pinged hard enough, but there's some glimmer of hope on the effects of BA.2 in my mind, as the two largest hospitals serving the area I work (a real big area north of Chicago/Cook County) have a grand total of 3 covid positive patients and that's it, compared to triple digits during the omicron peak. I guess we'll see in 4-6 weeks.

Thoguh posted:I’d be interested to know what percentage of people still give a gently caress about COVID. I know we joke about only posters ITT care but there’s a bunch of huge Facebook groups out there that make this thread look fairly open Biden and also a bunch of still cautious people on twitter so it’s gotta be at least 5-10% of people if not a little more. At one store I went to yesterday afternoon a kind of "dented cans but from Whole Foods" type of store, all employees were masked and maybe 80% of the customers. It felt unreal to me. The next store was a coop grocery and with a similar customer base, only 10%. The local chain grocery had more masking at around 30%.

I guess we'll see in 4-6 weeks. It's possible that BA2 hits like an aftershock, causing a lower peak in the U.S. than BA1. It's all a question of how quickly BA1 immune memory wanes and how much immune response crossover there is between BA2 and BA1. Unfortunately I haven't seen anything in terms of solid data about either of these factors. As you said, there's nothing to do but wait and continue to take protective measures. My pure wild guess is that the U.S. will be primed for another death wave midyear or so, certainly by August, but if BA2 really does escape BA1 immunity then that could happen much sooner.

Given what we know about how long COVID can linger in various parts of the body - even in corpses - could it be that wastewater has become a lagging rather than leading indicator? Like the COVID in the poop we are seeing is just because Omicron likes to live in the gut more than prior variants did? I'm legitimately asking as someone ignorant of why this could or could not be the case. It just seems from what I'm gathering here that from what we've seen WRT wastewater in prior waves, that seems should be popping off more than they are now even given the CDC's deliberate ofuscation of the data.

I guess we'll see in 4-6 weeks. I think that while we are very much undercounting cases currently we are legitimately in a lull, not as low as last summer but still pretty low. What I don’t think anyone knows though is how long it will last. Will BA.2 gently caress us up in April? Or will we dodge this one and not get another big wave until late summer or fall?

Number-wise I don't know if this is exactly like last summer but it sure feels like it. So I'm just trying to enjoy it with the understanding that it won't last. When last summer's lull ended I didn't handle that very well so I'm trying to keep my head on straight this time.

Like the COVID in the poop we are seeing is just because Omicron likes to live in the gut more than prior variants did? Honestly - and I'm not an expert but It seems to me we may end up like what happened when Alpha ravaged Western Europe and not here. BA2 is over 50% in the Northeast, Wastewater is showing big numbers NYC, Providence, and Stamford - but admissions haven't increased at all. There was a 3 day period at the beginning of march where NY's admissions went from 250 to 1200, but now they're around 250 again. But it doesn't help that weekend reporting blows and that 600 hospitals routinely don't report covid data on Tuesdays. But, we are open biden and immunity will wane for everyone eoon.

Rauros posted:my mood has been so much better since i applied to adopt a dog. We're going to be doing this later this spring or in the summer, my wife really needs one if we're going to keep isolating liking this. I'm scared of course because it means I'm going to have to go outside every day, but I think we can make it work COVID-wise between the respirators and vets here still doing curbside. The rescues we've contacted said they're willing to do the meet and greet outside and distanced and masked, and the home visit via Zoom. I miss dogs. It would be so nice to have an elderbull here on the couch with us reminding us that not everything in the world is horrible.

Like the COVID in the poop we are seeing is just because Omicron likes to live in the gut more than prior variants did? I think wastewater spikes are still a pretty good leading indicator. take a tour through the dark red counties pillowpants just posted. everything I've checked so far, about 2 weeks ago cases flatlined or have been rising. you can see this at the regional aggregates as well  of course even the 7 day case numbers are hosed now, with Florida reporting only every other week lol. can't wait for other poo poo holes to follow

Like the COVID in the poop we are seeing is just because Omicron likes to live in the gut more than prior variants did? I wouldn't suspect wastewater becoming a lagging indicator versus a leading one, but I do think it's completely plausible that different strains result in different amounts of GI tract viral shed, so that the absolute amount of virus in wastewater does not correlate to the number of cases in any consistent way. So an uptick in wastewater testing would still warn of a rising wave, but you can't determine anything about the size of the wave just by looking at the wastewater numbers.

Something I noticed with your last post pillowpants, you’re just not a logistics guy so like. All the spikes you were calling out were for Spring Break locations. I was doing Midwest gas jet and diesel before and now I’m doing jet for all airports west of the Rockies so maybe I can contribute some context if that would help

my 90 year old obese Italian grandma was euthanized via morphine in a hospital in New Jersey in March 2020 because they weren’t putting ppl like that on ventilators at the time. my boomer aunt gave it to her while visiting sometimes I think about what her last moments must have been like but for the most part I force myself to not think about it.
